Fifteen of the world's largest banks have been rocked by credit score downgrades, with rating agency Moody's delivering on what it had long promised to do. Those hit include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank - financial powerhouses domestically and internationally.
